5. Steudel’s Nomenclator Botanicus, 2d edition.—We noticed this 
work in a recent number of this Journal, (Vol. x11, p. 378,) while in 
_ the course of publication: the remaining fasciculi (XI-XIII) have since 
_ been received, which complete the work. It enumerates six thousani 
two hundred and eighty two genera, and seventy two thousand four hun- 
dred and seventy eight species of Phanerogamic plants. 
6. Torrey and Gray’s Flora of North America: Vol. 2, part 2. 
March, 1842. This number, as well as a large portion of the preced- 
ing, is occupied with the Composite ; and this vast family is not yet 
finished ; but will apparently require at least half of the ensuing num- 
ber for its completion. 
7. Mr. Nuttall’s Edition of Michauzx’s Sylva dativads —We are 
informed by Mr. Dobson, the publisher of this work, that it is at length 
definitively finished, in six volumes, imperial octavo, with 278 plates. 
Mr. Nuttall’s additions can be had separate in three volumes, contain- 
ing 122 plates, to complete all former editions of Michaux’s Sylva. 
This labor of Mr. Nuttall is looked for with great interest by all, and 
when it appears on our table will be the subject of further notice. 
We also learn from the same source, that the first volume of the 
revised edition of Holhgook’s North American Herpetology is also 
in press. 
8. Botanical Teacher, Second edition; by Laura Jounson.* (Sec- 
ond notice.) In 1834, the first edition was published under the super- 
Vision of Professor Eaton. It was dedicated to the Hon. Stephen Van 
Rensselaer, and received particular marks of his favor and patronage. 
In the present edition improvements have been made, and it is partieu- 
larly prepared for the pupils of teachers, who use the eighth edition of 
Eaton’s North American Botany. The last named work having grown 
to a large octavo of more than six hundred close pages, teachers were 
in want of a cheaper book, to put into the hands of pupils. Sucha 
book was found to be very difficult to construct. It was necessary that 
it should be plain—though it must be technical and truly scientific—and 
Contain all the genera and species of North American plants, excepting 
the lower orders of Cryptogamia, and so much of these orders as 
might be needed in students’ exercises.
